Dear friends,
I hope you are having a fantastic summer so far!! If you’ve been to the senior center lately, you’ve probably noticed lots of
changes. It’s amazing to me to be able to witness the increased growth that we’ve seen over the past couple of years…and with
that growth, sometimes changes need to be made to accommodate seniors, so that they have a chance to enjoy all of the
wonderful activities that we have to offer. You’ll notice that we’ve got two designated exercise rooms now and that the dining
room has been rearranged to seat everyone comfortably!
Although change is not always easy, this is definitely a good problem to have. To see our senior population grow as quickly as it
has…means that the word has gotten out about our center and that more people are taking advantage of the center’s offerings.
We are always open to your suggestions, so please feel free to tell us about any ideas that you may have for special speakers,
outings, activites, etc. If we don’t already have it being offered, then we’ll be more than glad to find instructors that can help us
get it started!! We’d like to believe that we are well rounded and offer a variety of activities for everyone.
Please join us for our 6th Annual Summer Spectacular scheduled for August 17th! This is a fun filled day for the entire family with
entertainment being provided by: The Country Tonite cast, Terry Evanswood, Sweet Fanny Adams Theater, Biblical Times
Dinner Theater, The Lost Mill Band, and Guy Michaels (Comedy/Hypnotist). Other activities planned for the day include:
Live/Silent Auctions, Cake Walks, Baffle Raffle, Match Game, Bingo, and the Show Me Game. Cost is only $20,
and includes two full meals. Activities are scheduled from 9 a.m. -5 p.m. Please stop in or call Karen Estep at
453-8080 x 107 for more information or to purchase tickets.
HAVE A WONDEFUL MONTH!!
Love, your friend, Jane

I hope you are enjoying playing David’s
DETECTIVES. It appears that a frisky kitty has
come and is causing chaos. He’s made his way
into this newsletter and see if you can follow his
shenanigans in the following months. We will be
placing all correct answers into a bowl and will be
drawing one lucky winner. You can only enter
once! Two winners will choose from a free lunch at
the Senior Center or Bingo Blitz.
I have found the cantankerous cat in the newsletter
and this my entry form.
If you are a bingo fanatic, then you need
to be here on August 22nd at 11:45.
Cost is only $5.00 and will include a
catered lunch, and great prizes!

Wow last month just flew by!!
Again this month I want to thank all of you
that are opening your hearts and home
(adopted home here at the center) to me. I
never thought I could make so many friends
this fast and feel this much love but you guys
continue to surprise me everyday.
I am loving every minute of my job and
although some days I don’t think I’ll ever get
caught up it sure is fun trying. I do hope that
everyone is enjoying the new activities, parties,
and adventures that we have been through the
last few months. Although I love prepping,
planning and pulling off these large events, I
also want to make sure that I don’t forget
about the small things like card games, dinner
and a movie, bungee jumping (just kidding) that
you guys love doing on a daily and weekly
basis. A lot of these things were set up
before I got here and frankly I just don’t
know that we ever did some of them. Please
let me know of any activities, games, or trips
that you have done in the past and want to try
again or if you have anything new that you
think a group would enjoy. I’ve got some
exciting things lined up for the future so stay
tuned so you don’t miss out on any of the fun!
Love y’all
David
The AARP Driver Safety Program is the nation’s first and largest course for
drivers age 50 and older.
This nation wide program has helped millions of senior drivers protect their
safety on today’s roads. Times change and we could all use a little brushing up
of our driving skills that can help you identify and correct some of the bad
habits you may have un-knowingly picked up over the years.
Here's an easy way to tune up your driving skills and update your knowledge of
the rules of the road, learn defensive driving techniques, discover ways to
handle left turns, right-of-way, highway traffic and blind spots and much more.
Whether you have arthritis or not, practicing Tai Chi for
Arthritis is for you. It will improve your balance, reduce falls, reduce stress
and improve serenity. The program can even be done from a seated
position. In fact, it will improve practically all aspects of your health.
How Tai Chi for Arthritis Benefit Your Health? As an effective program for people with arthritis, Tai Chi for Arthritis incorporates exercises that improve muscular strength, flexibility and fitness.
Muscle strength is important for supporting and protecting joints. It is
essential for normal physical function. Flexibility exercises enable people to move more easily. Flexibility also
facilitates the circulation of body fluid and blood, which enhances healing. Many arthritic conditions such as fibromyalgia, scleroderma and spondylitis are characterized by joint stiffness and impaired physical function. Tai chi gently frees up stiff joints and muscles.
Fitness is important for overall health and proper functioning of the
heart, lungs and muscles. Tai Chi for Arthritis can improve all of these components. The Tai Chi for Arthritis program also focuses on weight transference, which improves balance and prevents falls. Additionally, tai chi practice helps to relieve pain and reduce stress This is accomplished in various ways. First, increasing muscular strength helps to protect the joints, thereby reducing pain. Second, improved flexibility allows for better blood and joint fluid circulation, which also leads to less pain. Third, tai chi is a mind body exercise, which improves the serenity and relaxation of the mind and thus reduces pain and stress. As a result, those who practice tai chi often experience less depression and enhanced immunity.
The Benefits of Practicing Tai Chi Today, tai chi is one of the most effective exercises for the health of mind and body, not only in China, but around the world. Tai chi helps people to relax and feel better. Everything improves when you are more relaxed and feeling good about yourself. More than 2.3 million Americans practice tai chi for various health-related purposes, including: • to obtain benefits associated with low-impact, weight-bearing, aerobic exercise; • to improve physical condition, muscle strength, coordination, and flexibility; • to improve balance and decrease the risk of falls; • to ease pain and stiffness; • to improve sleep; and • for overall wellness.
